Elite Player Development Program Brings Washington’s Top Young Players Together

The Elite Player Development (EPD) program, presented by Chipotle, Virginia Mason and TEKK, offers the top developmental and identification opportunities for the most elite of Washington Youth Soccer's 100,000 players. Each year, more than 400 talented players — including boys and girls 9-17 years of age — are hand-selected by a highly qualified coaching staff and administrative team to join the EPD program, whose purpose is to provide the state's most skilled players with the highest level of developmental opportunities in a holistic, player-centered model.

Players in the EPD program receive elite coaching and are given the opportunity to compete in Regional and National competitions against other State Associations in front of collegiate, Regional ODP and U.S. Soccer scouts.
